I came across this link in an rss feed and thought this might be nice to roll in when using mercury with aegir.

My dev environment differs from that of most Drupalees. I have a webserver running on Ubuntu but my IDE is on Windows 7 (Eclipse with Egit).

I understand Mig5's workflow as illustrated by Adrian Simmons.
I understand the difference between platforms and instances.
I have succesfully installed gitolite on my development server.
I have put my build/make files under git version control. I use these files to deploy platforms with Aegir.

I store all my updated themes and modules in my SVN repository.
How can I get Aegir to recognize my themes and modules from an SVN repository, so I can use them to migrate a new site?

Example of where a theme is stored:
svn+ssh://user@server/var/lib/svnroot/drupal/themes/drupal_6/production/basic

Example if where my themes are stored for a specific platform on my aegir server:
/var/aegir/drupal-6.16/sites/default/themes

EDIT: Changed theme path

I am setting up Aegis on a virtual machine running Ubuntu 10.04.

I have had complete success up until I get to the step (in install.php) labelled: Initialize the Hosting System.

When I run the commands in this step, more specifically, when I run:
php /var/aegir/drush/drush.php --uri=http://localhost hosting-setup

It completes successfully, however, as soon as I refresh my browser, or attempt to continue through the install in my browser, the url invalidates, and returns a message that 'install.php' cannot be found.

The Aegir project is proud to announce the eighth alpha of our 0.4 release cycle. Adrian and Neil have been working like crazy on the also crazy multi-server developpment branch(es) for a while and they are getting stable enough so that we can merge with the master development branch. Not stable enough, however, to not warrant a nice and routine release for you people to bundle the quiet but stable fixes we have been doing during that time. So here's the last release before we go on the multi-server development spree for good.

Hi,

Playing with Aegir - it is a great tool, but want to make it on steroids: use boost Boost and Cacherouter+APC as an user object cache for all sites. I will not touch Varnish for now.
What is the proper way to make config that works? Problem is, that I am changing "platforms" on Aegir rapidly and moving "sites" between them often, but haven't found the way to configure them globally.

Thank you for your thoughts.

I would like to test Aegir but I am having trouble installing on a Turnkey Linux Core Appliance running on Oracle VM VirtualBox.
I get through the entire install without a glitch. I am able to create a platform for atrium-1-0-beta6 and drupal-6.16.
Cron runs and the platforms verify. The problem occurs when I try to create a site. I add the site name and the path to the
drupal installation (e.g. /var/aegir/platforms/atrium-1-0-beta6). No matter which platform
I choose I always get the error "Please fill in a valid profile." I've tried reinstalling and various configuration changes

Hi all,
I have been trying in vain to aegir working for many months on a cpanel server and only later found it's not doable. Now I have it working on my local machine and I am loving it so much. It's like firebug for firefox! Thank you guys!

I'm new to Aegir and there are a couple things that are still unclear to me. Clearly Aegir will bring over modules in a specific site folder when you migrate a site, but what is the default handling of modules and themes in the "all" folder? I migrated a site from a drupal 6.15 platform to a 6.16 platform but it didn't touch the modules in the all folder.
